Click to listen to podcast Episode 7 - The Feeling of Being Unheard and Underappreciated at Work.
Hi, Managers and Supervisors. How's it going?
In this podcast episode, we will explore the feeling of being unheard and underappreciated at work?
This topic is for anyone who feels that they are not recognized or appreciated. As a manager and supervisor, this is a daily occurrence stuck in the middle between top management and employees and getting crap from both sides. So every day, you push down resentment, disappointment, words, anger, and chaos within yourself and others.
One of these days, it will bubble over, and the dragon will explode with harsh words and actions.
You are to pretend everything is great when you don't believe it yourself in the decisions made from above, but you have to enforce and ensure it is completed and done that way. You have to convince employees to change how they do things when they disagree and don't want to.
When you speak up with your concerns, you are ignored and labeled as trouble-makers or uncooperative. The yes people promote and get recognition for your work. You are the doer and get things done but not acknowledged for all your accomplishments.
Your boss has promised you a promotion numerous times, but it doesn't happen, and eventually, a yes person gets the position and over you.
How heartbreaking is that?
You're so good at your job your boss doesn't want you to move up they keep you stuck in a dead-end job or career.
Being ethical may get you passed over for a promotion.
Why is that?
Do employers want honorable people or not?
Isn't it better to be an honest person than not?
I'm lost for words because this is really happening, people.
Keeping your mouth shut is expected, and nodding your head in agreement is the norm instead of working together to make things better and sharing ideas and processes to streamline.
Keeping mouths shut and agreeing is causing chaos, resentment, overload, anxiety, and burnout in the workplace because things aren't getting done correctly and efficiently.
How can this change?
How many of you out there has a boss you can sit down with and say; this isn't working; the staff is frustrated and on overload? If you do. Show some appreciation to them every once in a while. They need encouragement to keep pushing on with a thankless job. These people want to make a difference and want to do what is right, and they do open their mouths and disagree at times, even when rejected and not appreciated.
When people feel appreciated, heard, and can express their ideas, they might go the extra mile to speak up and change the environment from chaos to calm.
